There are slime-mold beetle species named after George Bush, Darth Vadar, and Dick Cheney. How appropriate!

Gee.....The first time I heard this claim it was Donal Rummsfield instead of Dart Vader. You don't suppose someone would make something and post it on the internet do you?????

There is so much crap on the internet that my first response is to look at Snopes and disbelieve if they don't confirm. That's for the verification, I love that link.
